Anybody doing liquid diet right now?



Recommended Posts

I am on day two of the 10 day liquid diet. I got the carnation Protein Powder, they have the right amount of protien per shake when you mix them with skim milk and they are not thick and nasty. the other kind of protien shakes have too much protien in them to drink 6 of them a day. =) Also buy french onion Soup and eat the broth from that, it has the most flavor when you are ready for broth. =) I would love a piece of pizza today. ha!

Hello

I started my liquid diet today, drinking diet snapples, gingerale and broth. I had 2 bowls of broth, 3 bottles of Water and 2 bottles of diet snapple and one gingerale.

It definitely hard the first day..

Hey... it could be worse! I have 6 weeks of Pre-Op diet!

I'm already on it and my surgery isn't until May! :)

Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the tips guys! I hate Protein shakes, but I will definetely try the broth. I was thinking of buying the Protein Shakes made by Atkins. They have 15 grams of protein...they are super expensive though.

The sacrifice we make for beauty! ;-)

you can get sample packs from GNC. You really want to get this nailed down before surgery. Protein shakes are a staple item. You can get protein from broth, but it will take an awful lot to equal the protein you get from a shake. My favorite is the Premier brand that you can get from Sam's or costco. Not overly sweet or thick. The vanilla can be altered with some sugar free syrups. The chocolate is really good too.

My surgery is April 29th so I've been trying to find the right Protein drinks for when I start liquids too. Today I went into a Vitamin Shoppe ( they're online too) and they have protein water! I bought 3 individual bottles to try but each bottle has 40g protein, 0 sugar, 0 carbs. The guy that I talked to in there said that's how he gets most of his protein. He said they are really good and you can just sip all day :-)

Try carnation Breakfast. U can mix it with skim milk and make it the taste and consistancy you like. When u mix with skim milk it gives about 16 grams of protien and doesn't have to taste thick and nasty. Hang in tjere on the liquid diet. Mine was 10 days too and it is hard. Try French onion. Soup the broth is very flavorful and make some Jello jiigglers! Makes it seem like you have something to chew on. I am in the hospital now had surgery on Friday. So far so good.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
